Toys (not what you think.)

by Shayla R Cakes

I'm reaching for the teddy bear that used to be you.
Until you turned into Bob the Builder with the hammer that has the ability to break my ceramic heart that I made on my pottery wheel.
Our tower called 'Love' built out of blocks is wobbling
As the bully called conflict stomps over, ready to kick it down.
I've become a limp ragdoll -- lifeless, inadequate, unappreciated and tossed in a dusty corner
And as we spin the wheel on the game of 'Life'
I learn that I'm becoming the old worn out toy, thats outdated and not the newest and hip thing.
I'm not the giga pet that everyone has
I'm just a ragdoll.
I used to be your Barbie doll.
Constantly prettied up for my Ken, and eager to impress in my Ferarri that I managed to afford on a salary of allowance and lollypops.
Your mystery date isn't the dreamboat you once thought.
And I have become the dud.
